Microneedling & Microinfusions

Treat acne scars, wrinkles and other frustrating skin issues for smoother looking skin.

  • Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles to stimulate collagen production, increase cell turnover, and rejuvenate the skin.

  • Microinfusions  are an additional hydrating and rejuvenating  treatment that infuses small amounts of hyaluronic acid and other natural ingredients into the surface layers of your skin. We can use exosomes, PRF,, and/or a customized cocktail of botox, skinvive, peptides, antioxidants, and vitamins.

FAQs

It’s important to us that you feel comfortable and clear about all elements of microneedling treatments before deciding if it’s right for you. We’ve put together answers to the questions we get most when patients are deciding if microneedling is the right fit.

  • Treatments typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated and the individual’s desired results. 

  • Generally, multiple treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended  for best results. Your clinician can provide an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs and desired outcomes. 

  • Immediately following the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. You may also experience some light peeling or flaking over the next few days as old skin cells are replaced with new ones. Sun protection is important during this time to avoid any further damage to the skin. 

  • All treatments and services are non-refundable.
